Homebrew postLoader4

[guinness]

First of all, absolutely love the new look, and seriously considering using PL full time. Just have a few questions:

Is there a way to set wiiflow as default loader for all wii games?. For some reason CFG not working for me.
Is there a way to set USB for saving covers?
I tried the copy from USB for NGC, and deleted one game to make space (now got 1.84GB free on card), but PL still says I need to make more space.
When I try to view channels I'm told no titles found, rebuild cache!. No idea what that's all about.

TIA for any help.

Hi guiness, thank you.

1) Last time I've tested WiiFlow, it wasn't working. This is not a problem of postloader. You can try GX that works fine.
2) Simply move /ploader folder from sd to usb.
3) This is really strange. I've done a lot of testing on that and never had problems. postLoader should tell also how many Mb need and game size... What is reporting to you ?
4) option->Nand source and select the nand to use.

Thanks for the reply stfour
1) when I change loader on a game by game basis, wiiflow seems to work fine for me, trouble is CFG seems to be default for all games, and I can't see a way to change this without changing each game individually.
2) Thanks, will try this
3) Currently says "You must free 304 Mb to install Burnout. Click on game to remove it from SD, hame size is 1224 Mb), Press (B) to close" and then gives the option to remove Crazy Taxi (142 Mb). Just checked, and actually have 1.93Gb free on the card.
4) Can't see this option. I see Sysyem Options-> Change Uneek nand, but don't currently have any nands saved un USB

1. Yes, you are right... I soon add an option to change default loader for all items.
3. This is really strange. Try to chkdsk your sd... is the only thing that come to my mind.
4. Pressing home, you should see a menu with "Browse to...", "Nand source", "Nando options", "Titles filter".....etc..... and also "System options".

Strange things happen when I run postloader 57.1 under Neek2o (Sneek or Uneek).
First I lose 1st wiimote sync
Second my second wiimote which is synced will not move or work
So I shut the wii manually !!!
Any hints stfour?

Resync you wiimotes in neek2o system menu. Your second wiimote doesn't work as (i think) it isn't the first.

1) Great
3) Hmm, did that and now have 3.04 Gb free, but PL still says there's not enough space. Will try another card.
4) I wish to announce that I am an idiot !!!!!!!

This is really strange... What is the size of your SD ?

4Gb. Tried removing all PL files from card and putting them back on. now of the 6 NGC games on HDD, 3 are happy to copy to SD, the other 3 do nothing, not even an error message now, just see a message saying loading game configuration, then back to cover view.

If you have some time for me, I will give you a debug version to test.

Got a few hours spare. Ideal.

 

[stfour]

Ok, I need some time to prepare it

postLoader 3.57.3

* Added support for GC D-Pad (thx traitor)
* Corrected a bug in homebrew browser pagenum (thx traitor)
* Incremented debug output for dml operation
* DML: Removed call to setstreaming (thx FIX94)

@guinness: download and install version 3.57.3. Use an usb gecko or if you haven't it create on sd root the file /ploader.log to enable logging. Do some of not-working operation and then send me the log. Note that with ploader.log file, postloader will be very slow.

@[member='obcd']: good work, in neek2o rev75 usb is again accessible

 

[lepicane]

Modmii should now be able to find neek2o rev. 75 with the uneek_usb_fs fix.

Rev 75 works now, thanks for your remarkably quick help. Couple of minor points though; it still says rev 72 (could cause confusion) but dated 24 January. Also, I can't remember how many revisions back, but the neek2o menu would always show one game less than I have. Rebuilding the game cache in neek2o would not fix it, however if I rebuilt it in postloader then it would be fine and show 39/39 games on my USB HDD (not an issue, just curious).

Thank you obcd... this evening I will try it

3.57.2 works fine now. I did notice when rebuilding the game cache in postloader it would count off 39/39 games that I have, however, after reboot it would only download 38/38 covers (I actually already have 39 covers in the covers folder). I repeated the steps several times using both methods in postloader and now it seems fine.

btw can you switch between real nand and neek2o in postloader. I know I was able to do this in previous versions?

Keep up the great work

[stfour]

But these are low priority updates... hi priority are always a full package.

 

[obcd]

You are right about that revision number. I forgot to change it.
You could be right about the number of games in diconfig.bin. Stfour had a reason for building it from within postloader.
I don't supose you could send me a quick list with the contents of your games and wbfs folder.
You could for instance run dir > wbfs.txt in a windows command prompt. It should generate a text file with the contents of the folder.
A copy of the correct and the bad diconfig.bin would be very helpfull as well.

postLoader 3.57.4

Hi stfour. ploader.log. from fresh install.

Spoiler: version 3.57.3
